IMPROVEMENT IN PEN ANDPENCIL CASES.

VSpecification forming part of Letters Patent No. 115,704, dated June 6,1871.

To all 'whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES M. CLARK, of Jersey City, in the county ofHudson and State of New Jersey, have invented and made an Improvement inPencil and Pen Cases; and the following is declared to be a correctdescription thereof.

Pencil-cases have been made with a penholder to be projected from oneend by a slide, and thepencil has been projected from the other end bydrawing out a tube in which the pencil is contained, there being tubeswith screwformed slots that operate to project the pencil simultaneouslywith the drawing out of the intermediate tube. In this pencil-case,however, ihere is not any magazine for leads. A pencil has also beenmade with a magazine for leads in one end of the case, and the pencil orpen fitted to be projected from the other end of said case.

My invention is made for providing a magazine for leads in the case, andfor projecting the pen from one end and the pencil from the other;thereby there is not any risk of the pencil coming into contact with theink, and the convenience of a magazine is secured.

In the drawing, Figure l is a longitudinal section of the parta of saidpencil; and Fig. 2 is an elevation of said pencil-case, in which thepen-holder and pencil-case are shown as projected.

The case is represented as larger than the orthe case contains theever-pointed pencil i, and

next inside the case bis the cylindero, and within that are thescrew-formed slotted tubes that act to project the pencil i as the saidtube or cylinder o is drawn out from the case b. The construction of theslotted tubes thatv operate the pencil and project the same is wellknown, and hence need not be described.

By this construction of pen and pencil case the magazine can be of alarge size and does `not interfere with the' other parts, and the pencilis projected at one end of the case and the pen at the other.

I claim as my invention- The two-part case ab screwed together, andcontaining a magazine, d, and pen-holder in the part a, and a pencil,projected by the tube o, and screw-form slotted tubes in the other partb of the case, as and for the purposes set forth.V
